unsent note to one of my baby cousins

Dear Cousin 2,

One day you will understand.

Right now you are probably confused and hurt and think I don't love you because I have been gone for a very very very long time. Your mom tells me that you ask if I'm hurt, if I'm okay, if I'm going to die. Yes, honey, I'm fine. No, I don't think I'm going to die. I know that you don't understand that I work in an office and that other Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen keep me safe. One day you will.

Until then, I hope your mom can explain it in a way that you can understand. Think of it as a vacation, and that Cousin Techno will be home very very soon. Because that's the place I want to be.

Miss you and everyone else dearly. And I will see you soon.
